Who is Latrice Royale?! Girl, don’t you watch RuPaul’s Drag Race? Latrice “Motherfucking” Royale was the powerhouse old-school drag queen with a complicated past and a motto for the ages: “Get up, look sickening, and make them EAT IT.” Sure, she lost the crown to Sharon Needles, but as all Drag Race viewers know, the world holds no better lip-syncher than Latrice Royale.

(R Place, 619 E Pine St, www.brownpapertickets.com, 9 pm, $20–$30, 21+)
